Abstract

On the basis of the present investigations concerning the employment of contraceptive methods in Denmark and the knowledge of the efficacies of these methods, the annual number of legal terminations of pregnancy performed in Denmark are assessed. A considerable proportions of the unwanted pregnancies may be explained by defective high efficacy of the contraceptive methods employed.

Identification of a candidate human neurohematopoietic stem-cell population.

It was recently reported that transplantation of clonally derived murine neurosphere cells into sublethally irradiated allogeneic hosts leads to a donor-derived hematopoietic reconstitution. The confirmation of the existence of a common neurohematopoietic stem cell in the human brain will have a significant effect on stem cell research and on clinical transplantation. Here, it is demonstrated that the human fetal brain contains separate but overlapping epidermal growth factor (EGF)-responsive and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2)-responsive neural stem cells. The majority (> 85%) of cells within these EGF- and/or FGF-2-generated neurospheres express characteristic neural stem/progenitor cell markers including nestin, EGF receptor, and FGF-2 receptor. These neural stem cells can be continuously passaged in vitro, and demonstrate a constant 20-fold expansion in every passage for up to the fifth passage (the longest period that has been carried out in the authors' laboratory). These neural stem cells are multipotential for neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. After transplantation into SCID-hu mice, all neural stem cells, regardless of passages, culture conditions, and donors, are able to establish long-term hematopoietic reconstitution in the presence of an intact human bone marrow microenvironment.
